If the price of postage was raised to say .05 cents for all classes of mail, it would still be the cheapest and fastest mail service in the world. Also for that extra .05 cents it would provide working capital ( time) to move to a five day delivery and reduce the workforce in an orderly fashion. Instead the congress will attempt to privatize and end up selling off operations in the profitable large urban areas. Mail delivery will not be free anymore. You will pay for delivery to your mailbox at the end of your driveway, say $200. a year. Granted you won&#39;t be required to pay, only if you want delivery. If you live in the country there will be no mail delivery because it is not cost effective.So now to get mail delivery ( again not required) you will have to rent a delivery box much like a UPS store at say $200. A year and use your gas to drive to that box to get your mail. No sanctity of the mail anymore as anyone handling your mail will not have Postal Inspectors looking over their shoulders. Your postage will increase from .44 cents to a $1.44 because the entity running the Los Angelies urban delivery area will have to pay the New York or Dallas or Miami ect. urban delivery area a surcharge because they are not owned by the same company. It&#39;s a shame 500,000 jobs over a lousy Nickle, and the congress could pass the increase on their next vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-56235008256369369912011-09-06T10:06:42.886-04:002011-09-06T10:06:42.886-04:00It&#39;s time to put the American PEOPLE first, an...It&#39;s time to put the American PEOPLE first, and stop all the greed!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-34522363604992979582011-09-06T08:43:08.835-04:002011-09-06T08:43:08.835-04:00All politics, they don&#39;t care what&#39;s right...All politics, they don&#39;t care what&#39;s right for the American public!
